Victoria, P.E.I


Victoria is a tiny town on the coast of Prince Edward Island. Although you can walk down main street in under 200 steps, this cozy coastal village became my favorite town that we visited in PEI. We originally visited it because it is well known for its functioning light house. 

But one thing that the guidebook did not mention is that there are three Newfies - Newfoundland dogs - that populate Victoria and hang out together.  Did I mention how large they are? They are bigger than my sister-in-law Sophia (see picture for evidence). On the left is Rufus; his owner decided to give him a lion haircut...possibly the greatest decision ever.



















In such a small town--where the Newfie population rivals the humans-- they produce some fantastic dinning. Of course my mother, who is obsessed with chocolate, managed to locate the chocolatier in Victoria.









It is an adorable shop with peonies blooming in the front.



















Most adorable antique/art shop.
































































Oldest tree in P.E.I


















Victoria is also right on the coast, so we went to the beach afterward.









































Yeah, Victoria is pretty great.
